Okay guys so in today’s video I’m going to talk about the distance away from the golf ball you are likely standing too far away from the golf ball I’m going to explain in this video exactly how you’re going to figure out where you should be standing and it’s going to give you a

Golf swing which is just way more repeatable bringing much more consistency in terms of the results so the first thing that we need to understand is a movement known as separation now this isn’t something you have to practice this is just something that we have to understand very quickly

Here now as I place this one through my uh belt loop this one across my shoulders what you can see is if I just turn my upper body independently away from my lower body this is known as separation so when I do this with inside

My posture can you see the way if I allow my upper body to move first the way it produces an element of tilt of my shoulders if I turn everything together can you see the way that uh there’s no tilt that ends up being created so understanding a separation and then from

There a completion of rotation is important for understanding tilt around the shoulder plane like so now the question would be what does that have to do with the distance from the golf ball well it has a massive difference because what happens you see is when I get set

Up to this golf ball here the first part of addressing the ball is an element of arm lift okay so the way I lift my arms to be able to hold the golf club into this placement like so now what happens with most am golfers is they don’t have

That separational move most am golfers have convinced themselves to turn everything together so if I turn everything together you see the way that my head moves the club gets dragged too far what would be known as underplate and this then encourages you to lift your arms unnecessarily and then your

Arms get really stuck and what you’ll end up doing is because you’re hitting the golf ball with a sort of flipping action the flipping action throws the club head out which then means that you have to stand further away so you end up like this quite crouched and then your

Head moves like this and then you end up hitting it like so and we don’t want that what we want to do is we want to stand up nice and straight so if I stand up nice and straight and then take a little bit of a b see my arms hang down

Now the first thing that happens when I come to grip the club is I lift my arms I lift my arms slightly in front of me okay in a comfortable position so see the way my arms are still hanging down pretty vertically nice and comfortable like so and that’s my first little bit

Of arm lift now what I’m going to do from here is I’m going to do that exercise where I turn my upper body okay in that first move and we’re going to practice that takeaway move okay now you can see the way if I do that my arms go

A little bit behind me so you need a little bit of arm lift to get the club on plane in that first move from here if I now continue that turn on again I need a little bit more arm lift to get my left arm through my shoulder line into a

Perfect back swing position and from this position you can just allow your arms to straighten allow them to release as you turn through and I promise you the results are going to be amazing so what you’ll often find is by work as I work with students what I often find is

That once they understand the sequence of the backing position they understand that really you’re arms do lift but they don’t lift anywhere near as much as you think you’ll start to notice the way you’ll be more comfortable standing slightly closer to the golf ball and the reason for that is because you’ll

Understand that it’s all about sequence and that way you’re going to be able to feel your arms can stay more connected to you by standing closer as opposed to moving unnecessarily with sort of Octopus arms so work on it I would suggest to work on it in a sequencing

Drill do it exactly like I did earlier take it back up to the top down and through the results will be brilliant I promise you I’ll see you soon
